MINUTES

0. Review of minutes

  The minutes of the 7 May 2018 RSOC meeting were approved. 

1. Administrivia

  Heather Flanagan reminded the RSOC that members who wish to continue 
  on the RSOC should submit their nominations. The deadline for RSOC 
  nominations is Wednesday, 27 June 2018.

  Heather Flanagan noted that the RSOC will meet on Thursday during 
  lunch at IETF 102; she has sent out a calendar invite for the meeting.

2. Format Update

  Heather Flanagan reported that the RPC has completed testing of the 
  tools that have been released so far. The most pressing issue is the 
  need to test the publication formatters; the first of those tested 
  will be the text formatter, which is scheduled to be released sometime 
  in the next two weeks. 

  Heather Flanagan noted that they still need to provide feedback to the 
  developer about what to do with markers, since they are not supported 
  in the TinySVG profile. Nevil Brownlee reported that after looking at 
  it, he thinks that they can proceed without using markers, so the 
  issue is resolved.

  Heather Flanagan reported that the developer is finishing up the 
  functionality of rfclint and determining what should be done with the 
  xmldiff tool. Heather is scheduling a meeting with Robert Sparks to 
  discuss that further. 

3. RPC update

- GitHub experiment

  Heather Flanagan reported that AUTH48 has started for draft-ietf-tls-
  tls13, which is the draft on which the RPC will experiment with using 
  GitHub. The experiment process is outlined at <https://www.rfc-
  editor.org/rse/wiki/doku.php?id=github_auth48_experiment>. The GitHub 
  repository being used for the experiment is at <https://github.com/
  ietf/draft-ietf-tls-tls13/pull/1>.  Heather expects to have a report 
  on the findings of the experiment by IETF 102.

4. RFC Stream structure and the BoF proposal

  Heather Flanagan reported that the rfcplusplus BOF has been scheduled 
  for Monday evening at IETF 102. She noted that several RSOC members 
  have registered concerns about this topic, and asked if there was 
  anything that the RSOC needs to do prior to the BOF.

  Tony Hansen asked if it would be worthwhile for the RSOC to draft a 
  group statement to be read at the BOF. Adam Roach replied that he does 
  not think that the RSOC would be able to come to consensus on such a 
  statement. Sarah Banks agreed with Adam, but asked if it would be 
  useful for those individuals making statements to do so with their 
  RSOC hats on. Robert Sparks cautioned that individuals will need to be 
  clear that they are not representing RSOC consensus when they speak, 
  even if they are a member of the RSOC.

  Robert Sparks asked if the RSOC wanted to send something to the IAB 
  about the process they used to get to the current BOF proposal, and 
  how the RSOC would have liked it to be done differently. Bob Hinden 
  agreed to propose text.
 
5. AOB

  Robert Sparks asked if the RSOC would find it valuable to have a walk-
  through of how the current SLA works so that people have a better idea 
  of where the corner cases are. After discussion, the RSOC agreed to 
  wait on this until after the current RSOC appointment cycle is 
  completed and any new members are seated.
